A Lonely Tree

Righty ho... next image:

I took this a few weeks ago when walking around Loughborough.  Normally we go somewhere more interesting, as the landscape around here is a little flat and dull... but it was a nice day and sometimes it's nice to reacquaint yourself.

Saw this tree sitting on its own on a hill, and knew it was worth a shot. Fired off a few bracketed shots, trying to find an interesting foreground, and initially thought I'd failed... but later I came back to this shot and realised it had potential.

I think the colours have worked out really well on this one, and I like the nice clean composition.
